The translation process

The translation process can be divided into three successive phases:

1. Understanding: assimilation of the meaning conveyed by the text, the meaning of a writer, etc.;
2. Deverbalisation: forgetting words and conservation of meaning: “the process by which the subject becomes aware of the meaning of a message losing consciousness of the words and phrases that gave content”;
3. Reexpression: reformulation of the meaning in target language; back to words.
